Womanity
 
Womanity Quantity in Basket: None
Price: $13.00
Artist: Minky Starshine
 
 
Quantity:
 
Minky Starshine hovers just above the sweetest sounds of the pop-rock soundscape. This band is much more than four pretty faces who write sugar pop melodies mixed with the 70's-inspired, radio rock they grew up on. Sonically grander than previous Minky Starshine records, 2011's "Womanity" is tightly arranged and produced, delivering bursts of warmth and color from start to finish. The songs continue to feel like memories from our past, but are fashioned to recall the most notable melody makers in todays hip indie culture. This is the birth of a new beat. Drawing upon the classic powerpop running through their blood, Minky and his camp of lovelorn bandits have pulled out all the stops this third time around. Combining a soundscape of horns, synths and other oddball blips and bleeps, the record often brings to mind the creative genius of a mad-scientist ringside at the circus. "They may have topped themselves with this one. There is a definite Posies-meet-Jellyfish element to their classic power pop sound. The buoyant, ultra-catchy opener 'Hard Times' (replete with horns) will shake you of whatever funk you happen to be in at the moment, 'Cinematic Mojo' adds a Motown bass line to their power pop mix, and 'Beautiful Girl' is a power ballad done right. Elsewhere, 'Straight Hip' channels the aforementioned Posies and 'What I Want' makes nice use of its boy-girl (Tracy Bonham) vocals in service of a radio-friendly tune. Another example of 2012 being off to a great power pop start, and to paraphrase the famous Hindenburg announcer, 'Oh the Womanity!' " - Absolutepowerpop.com  TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR TWO-FER OFFER AND GET THIS AND THEIR "UNIDENTIFIED HIT RECORD" CD FOR $20!  PLEASE NOTE: THIS SPECIAL PRICING WILL BE ADJUSTED ACCORDINGLY AT THE TIME YOUR CREDIT CARD IS CHARGED. PAYPAL OVERPAYMENTS WILL BE REFUNDED ACCORDINGLY!  GREAT!!!
